very archaic but fun to fly.
Archaic? I don't know that I would go that far. Have you ever sat up front in a dc-9?

CoAlpha, thank God you left. I would hate to be stuck with you on a 4 day! I like my job at PDT.
CoAlpha, did you commute? I guess that can add to the hatred. What is different about the QOL you have now as opposed to PDT? I'm not trying to show you up, I just want to know.

good guess I was a commuter. - not fun, you really dont know how bad commuting is UNTIL you dont have to commute anymore.
I guess the best things not being at PDT anymore are in no particular order.
1. signing in and out every trip and getting nailed all the time with JMs
2. getting into an aircraft in july and sitting down in a wet seat because the poor guy that just got outa the seat sweat so much.
3. APUs that never worked.
4. The usair system just pick something PHL ramp, super flow etc.
5. The flow through carrot that will never happen.
6. A MEC that really never did anything
7. JK and the clownshow training department.
8. The lines
10. kinda like 2 and 3, but add winter
11. calling scheduling and talking to (insert name here)
12. 8 leg days with 4 swaps
13. The maintenance
14. No upgrade in sight.
15. The pay (first year excluded)
16. The FAs (even though they were nice people) no eye candy at all.
17. The gloom of whats going to happen to the fleet/or what will mngt hold over our head when the contract it up.
18. The yelling involved in the line checks, you know the guy I am talking about, the FA once told me she could hear him yelling at us all the way up to HPN from PHL. In IMC and storms all the way up. What a a jerk.
19. The hotels
20. The lack of diversity in trips. IE north mdt,lga,syr dont fly south past PHL because the moron that sets the trips up cant figure it out. Never flew into hilton head once!! damit.
Anyways like I said before great people, good lessons learned. I would not ever do it again, and I think there are many other places that newhires should go. The 5k is not worth it. Not that where I am now is all roses (SKYW) but I dont hate flying anymore. And my job does not seem like a job anymore like it did at PDT. Best luck to that place.
